Simple, it seems you don't understand what compatibility is, in standards

no difference between letters or unused symbols.

Fonts with partial conformance are better than no fonts at all.

The only acceptable way of changes is to make them more claimed stadard
conformant. Any other changes are strictly prohibited.

He broke koi8-r fonts in the way I describe in this thread again. I
already complain about that when old discussion begins. I wait some time
to allow him to fix things, but nothing happens. Then I fix it, because it
is my responsibility here to keep integrity of charsets people use, any
charsets.
